At a time when the internet’s memory is under threat—from legal challenges to platform walls—humanity has reached a once-in-a-generation milestone: 1 trillion webpages preserved. This is more than a celebration; it’s a rallying cry to keep the web’s history alive.
In October 2025, the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine hit a once-in-a-generation milestone: 1 trillion web pages archived. That’s one trillion memories, moments, and movements—preserved for the public and available to access via the Wayback Machine.
We marked this historic achievement on October 22, 2025, with a global event: a party at our San Francisco headquarters and a livestream for friends and supporters around the world. More than a celebration, it was a tribute to what we’ve built together: a free and open digital library of the web.
